Watching this and reacting is the same as looking at the symptom and not the disease. So you have to look at the real problem, the break down of the free market system replaced by entitlements and public education. Not to mention failed immigration policies, which interestingly enough are directly tied to entitlements and free public education.

Read about the neighborhood, understand what these cops were dealing with, it gives a different perspective. The force used was excessive and for the most part uncalled for, but just for a second put yourself in the cops shoes, it's real easy to put yourself in the shoes of the victim, but if you dealt with stupid people and gang bangers in a neighborhood like this on a daily basis you'd loose perspective and over react too. I find myself on both sides of the coin with this one. I feel for the cops whom it must be quite difficult to keep things in perspective when dealing with low life thoughtless "a" holes on a regular basis and mistaking good people exercising their rights for "a" holes causing trouble. I also feel bad for the people that are just trying to exercise their right to free speech and assembly to protest what I'm sure on the surface was what they in the neighborhood felt was a just cause. Good people most likely got hurt because a select group of idiots showed up, started making trouble and created pandemonium where there was peaceable assembly, then all hell broke loose once the cops showed up to try and settle things down, because we all know how much people in low income areas love and respect their local police (that's sarcasm for those that don't understand irony).

Without all the facts and this little news blip certainly lacks many, it's simply media spin on a story to evoke your emotions, which in turn gets more viewers, more viewers, more advertisers. They just want you to think they're on your side to get people to watch, in the mean time they make more money. You'd figure people here of any place should know this by now.

just being an advocate for liberty makes you a KNOWN terrorist, right?

And anyone can say anything after you're dead. Just because a cop says it doesn't mean I would believe it.

You have read that the cops were trying to purchase video of the entire event, haven't you? Because the video would show that they acted properly. Yeah, that's it. And they wanted it for their defense.

It's easy to see how tame this confrontation will be once the dollar collapses and people are starving, having become so dependent on the gov't handouts that they will be utterly unprepared to even feed themselves.

And we all know, violence will be the norm when people have a choice: steal or die with hunger. And the police will become targets then. It's not a good time to be a police officer. They will be marked men, by both criminals and God-fearing patriots who will not stand for unrestrained tyranny.

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a rEVOLution before tomorrow morning." - Henry Ford

This was a common bumper sticker from the early 80's when the gov was talking about taking away guns from citizens.

That saying came from previous attempts to take our guns.

They do this in waves. And as previous generations have fought, we have to fight again.

I think it is coming up in part of Ron Paul. Yep. Because Ron Paul cured so much political apathy, there is a going movement waking up to the FACT that the two-party system is an illusion. That they are one with two faces.

So the government has to unleash divisive issues: guns, abortion, homosexuality, racism, classism, etc.

This way Mitt can appear different than Obama...when really they both are front men for the same powerful groups. Both parties will do the exact same thing concerning guns, abortion, homosexuality, racism, classism, etc. They'll just argue like they won't.

Don't flinch from this effort to draw us back under their spell. Instead, LAUGH at their attempts.

Time to resurrect this bumper sticker.

Or here's another classic bumper sticker: "When Guns are Outlawed, only Outlaws will have Guns."

medicaid, and other government programs. you can't keep accepting government "benefits" and think you will remain free. I have a friend from Mexico who finally realized this and recently stopped taking food stamps. He is eating lentils and pancakes, but enjoying his new-found mental liberty and small stand against an oppressive government.

where the fuk are you idiots? why you stop talking about gun ban????????? guns here obviously aren't the issue?!?! 1 bullet proof vest and 3 guns is not ok, 10 vests 20 guns is, or is it just because your feminine brains feel safe being rape fuked by authorities instead of some random individual? cowards

when an officer told him to?" WTF? I know there are still some good officers out there...but HELLO? To those good officers...in case you haven't noticed...something is BAD WRONG with the "protecting and serving" the hell out of us that you all are doing!

Again, I know there are good officers but being a policeman in my book is starting to get the same respect I have for bankers and politicians...if you choose a career as a jackbooted thug protecting the criminal elite and oppressing the people...you are going to end up on the wrong side of history.

And they want to disarm the citizens? MY ASS! For a more peaceful, safer world, DISARM the STATE and their enforcers! Turn this upside down system back right side up and let the PEOPLE be in charge!

It's sad but ture, now everytime I see a police car, I almost always say to myself outloud in my car "Fcuking Asshole" Nice brand new Dodge Charger Hemi your driving around town looking for someones pocket to pick for $300 based on some non-violent "offense" I hope you wreck you prick!

You nailed it on the head my friend. I was nodding my agreement throughout the entire post. Something needs to be done about this activity real soon, that's for sure. If this happened in a middle-class neighborhood we would have ourselves a legit "Boston Massacre" type catalyst for the 2nd American Revolution. I feel like things are getting dangerously close to violence in the streets.

In your 2nd amendment it states that you are responsible for your own security - being the militia thing.

So how come you duplicated the 'Cops' concept from the non-free western Europe?

Here we cannot defend ourselves against crooked cops and there are many! We are not allowed to own guns - due to fears for 'public safety' it says. But that doesn't solve the rotten police officer issue or other criminals armed with 'illegal' firearms. In fact even an evil regime with hidden agendas can use the intelligence services to target any person they see fit. Even kill them if need be. Most europeans 'believe' in this to be a good thing! Talk about a brainwashed continent. :/

Following the tragedy in Colorado it becomes clear that had the moviegoers been armed this would not have resulted in so many casualties. Remember the old gentleman from a recent youtube upload who shot the robbers in a store? If the gunman/men have zero resistance from a crowd of course they can kill as many as they wish. But as the video with the old man shows they are scared little cowards who take the first exit once put under pressure from TRUE patriotic enforcement of power!

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

For every action their is an equal and opposite reaction... If every citizen were indeed a potential member of their state militias most of that crowd would have a gun. If that were the case, the police would have handled this quite differently.

Guns... Keeping them honest since 1776.
